Bryce Wildlife Adventure — Attraction in Utah

Stay away from this place. Robert, the owner, is a total "Jekyll/Hyde" personality. Having ridden the trails around Bryce for many years, I planned a trip to the area to share its beauty with friends. 3 of the couples are experienced riders with their own equipment but one couple needed to rent a rig for two days. I called Robert months in advance of the trip and explained to him that I planned to take the group to Powell Point one day, laying out the exact route, having ridden it previously. IT is an easy trail. I explained that the trip might take 5 hours (his maximum rental time) but it might also take a little more time and I wanted to be sure that we could extend his 5 hour limit a little if that happened, of course paying for the extra time. We planned to leave at 9 when his business opened and be back well before his closing time in any event. After some discussion and my assurances regarding the experience of the group, he agreed that we would "work something out"

I called again just in advance of our trip and confirmed the content of our original conversation, also confirming that we might need a little extra time and again identifying the exact trails that I intended to take to Powell Point. He again confirmed that we would "work something out". I planned our trail itinerary accordingly, trusting him to keep his agreement with me.

When our friends arrived for the trip his story changed completely. He refused to rent the UTV for more than 5 hours and demanded that it be driven in the Paunsaugunt trail system only. The man lied to me. Twice. And in so doing he completely bolluxed up our trip planning. He insisted on burning more of our daylight by taking our friends to a location where we had to meet up with them and provided a description of the meeting location that is not even on a map. We had planned to meet up at his rental place, but his insistence on another location cost us precious time and burned our friends' money at $100/hour.

I have no respect for this man and would not trust him to...

My husband and I had plans to go on an ATV guided tour while we were in Bryce but the proprietor at the Bryce Canyon Resort down the road referred us to Robert & Terri for ATV rentals rather than the tour. We didn't have a great experience at our first choice so after meeting Terri we made a reservation with her and cancelled our other reservation. Terri was super helpful and knowledgeable. She made us feel at home and confident we would enjoy our independent tour and we did not need a guide.

The day of our reservation we met Robert. He was so friendly and also knowledgeable from the routes to wildlife to weather. He gave us excellent instruction and encouraged us to take time to see all the sites along the way. We thoroughly enjoyed our ATV tour and it was great to move along at our own pace appreciating all that the wilderness had to offer.

Upon our return we visited their Wildlife Adventure museum and were awed by the massive collection of animals, attention to detail in all the exhibits and obvious care that went into creating this unique experience. I'm not much for taxidermy but my experience at the museum really peeked my interest regarding how hunters and gatherers like Robert positively impact wildlife conservation. This museum is a life's work for Robert and Terri and is obviously created and maintained out of a deep love and respect for animals and their habitats. I am so glad we did not miss this incredible opportunity.

Thank you Terri and Robert. You helped make our wonderful trip even...

My sister and I went on a spontaneous road trip today and we ended up see the building and we stopped on a whim. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into.

The walkway up to the museum had flowers and it was so pretty. I had to stop and take a photo of this.

We entered the place and the owner told us a bit about the place and informed of the entry fee of $10/person. We paid and walked into a room full of taxidermy, fossils, pottery, and a bunch of other stuff.

The set up was really nice and the items were labeled and the fossils had names and the rock fossils of ocean life were also named and the area you would find this was also visible.

The smaller taxidermy items such as the insects had a map of where you would find that species at.

We also found broken pottery pieces and navajo/apache plant dye chart for wool.

At the end of viewing the whole place both upstairs and downstairs, we were leaving and we chatted more with the owner and he explained he has been collecting the items and that they used to sell products and such but they stopped. It was sad they stopped selling items because from their travels and how well the place is looked after I bet they would've had some cool stuff on the shelves.

I would love to stop by again at some point in the future. It was a random find but it was super great. The owners were nice people and it was very friendly...
